So What is vCLI?
vCLI is a separate set of CLI commands that you can use to perform remote management of ESXi hosts. This video gives an overview of vCLI commands in vSphere 5.0. It discusses ESXCLI name spaces and commands and goes over commands for which no ESXCLI equivalent exists in vSphere 5.0.
You can run ESXCLI commands from remote computer, or you can execute those commands also in the ESXi shell. Note that it is also possible to run ESXCLI commands from the vSphere PowerCLI prompt by using the Get-EsxCli cmdlet.
